Asian Beef Lettuce Wraps

Apart from being a shrill, shouting TV chef, Gordon Ramsay has long been a big influence in my cooking. The softer side of him is evident in many of his Britain based shows. In my new favorite, Ultimate Cookery Course, he highlights his love of simple, flavorful ingredients and the amazing meals they make. Watching it makes me want to gnaw my arm off, but hey, it’s a good way to get inspired!

In a recent episode, he stirred up some Asian beef lettuce wraps that got both me and the mister drooling! They were sweet and spicy, fresh and tangy, and just what we needed to balance all the comfort food I’ve been cooking up.

Here’s what ya gotta do… Into a sizzling hot pan, toss in bell peppers and onions, add in the beef and get it nice and browned. Slip in a scrumptious combination of garlic, soy, hoisin and chili sauces, rice wine vinegar and fragrant fresh ginger.

The aroma is amazing! Commence arm gnawing.

Pile it high in a big bowl and plop it in the center of a bunch of crisp lettuce leaves. Serve it with a bowl of your favorite rice and you have yourself a mouthwatering dinner… and leftovers for lunch! These lettuce wraps make for a delicious way to switch up a mundane menu and inspire you to cook with simple yet exotic flavors!

This looks delicious!! I’ve never made lettuce wraps before, but the colorful, vibrant photos make me want to try these. Just curious, did you use honey when you made these? It is mentioned in the instructions, but not in the ingredient list. Thank you!!

These were superb! so flavorful and tasty. Fairly quick to prepare. One problem, the recipe calls to add in honey but your ingredients does not list honey nor an amount so I just took a guess and added in a little less that a tablespoon of honey, which turned out nicely.

This is freakin off the hook! I just made this for dinner and it is amazing. The sauce alone is good enough to use in several dishes, especially General Tso’s. Love it and thanks for this great recipe!

I tried this recipe tonight, and it was an all-star hit. The flavors melded perfectly, and it’s a beautiful presentation. I served it with fresh butter lettuce because the leaves are so flexible. One of the things we’ve missed while on the South Beach Diet is tacos; these fill the bill. Bless your cotton socks!

It’s quicker & easier to prepare in a pan, but you could brown the beef in the pan first then add to the Crockpot with the remaining ingredients (minus green onions and lettuce) and simmer for 1-2 hours maybe.

I just made these for my family and they are amazing. I didn’t have the chili paste so I substituted for a teaspoon red pepper flakes. Rarely do i try a recipe exactly as written as actually like the taste, but these were amazing. Can’t wait to try more of your recipes!!!!
